Tired of having to fight for the wheel? Let VT Technical College Equine Program instructors Lori Berger, Natalie Jarnis and Jessy Stewart Riley help you with establishing/re-establishing a solid foundation with your horse!

This Green Mountain Horse Association (GMHA) Winter Educational Series sponsored workshop features speakers/instructors from the Vermont Technical College (VTC) Equine Program and will be held at Rough Terrain Farm. It is geared for the amateur and first-time horse owner. Topics include demonstrations of ground manners and safe handling skills, essentials of round-penning and lungeing, English/Western saddle fitting, choosing appropriate equipment for your horse's level of training (and your own), as well as a Q&A period where you can get further information. Snacks provided.

Fee is $10 for GMHA members, $15 for non-members. See event and registration details.

A Used Tack Sale put on by the VTC Equine Club will also take place at the same time as the above workshop, March 19, 12-3:30.
